Step-by-step guide
Define Registration Requirements
Determine what information you need from registrants — contact details, preferences, payment, and any qualifying criteria.
- Map out required vs. optional fields before building
- Consider what data you'll need for event logistics
- Plan for accessibility needs and dietary requirements if relevant
Build the Form Structure
Create sections for personal info, preferences, payment, and terms. Use multi-step layouts for complex registrations.
- Multi-step forms with progress bars complete 14% more often
- Group related fields into logical sections
- Put payment at the end after users have invested time
Add Payment Collection
Integrate Stripe or Razorpay for registration fees. Support multiple tiers, early-bird pricing, and promo codes.
- Offer multiple payment tiers for different attendee types
- Early-bird pricing creates urgency and rewards early commitment
- Display pricing clearly before the payment step
Set Up Confirmations
Configure automatic confirmation emails with registration details, calendar invites, and any next steps.
- Include a calendar file (.ics) in confirmation emails
- Send a reminder email 24 hours before the event
- Include joining instructions or venue details in confirmation
Configure Capacity Limits
Set maximum registrations and enable waitlists for when spots fill up. Automatic promotion when spots open.
- Display remaining spots to create urgency
- Waitlisted registrants automatically move up when spots open
- Set different limits for different registration tiers
Publish and Promote
Embed on your website, share via social media, or send direct registration links. Track registrations in real-time.
- Add UTM parameters to track which channels drive registrations
- Use the BttrForm analytics dashboard to monitor completion rates
- A/B test different form layouts to optimize conversion
